Roma and Juve duel over Barzagli Thursday 1 April, 2010
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roma and Juve are battling it out to sign Wolfsburg centre-back Andrea Barzagli this summer, according to several reports in the Italian media.
The 28-year-old was a member of the Italy squad that won the World Cup in 2006.
He left Palermo for Germany two years ago and helped Wolfsburg win their first ever Bundesliga title last season.
Juventus are in the market for a centre-back this summer, as they are not expected to extend Fabio Cannavaro's existing deal.
Roma are monitoring that situation and may well swoop for Cannavaro if he becomes available, but in the meantime they are working under the impression that Barzagli is their No 1 target.
The Giallorossi are apparently looking to sell Philippe Mexes this summer in a bid to raise funds and strengthen the squad in other areas.
They value the Frenchman at around €15m, almost double the asking price being touted for Barzagli.
Fiorentina are also in the mix, although they remember how Barzagli rejected the chance to join them in 2008.
--------------------------------------------------
Will it be like Legrottaglie all over again?

Juve plan Lyon raid Thursday 1 April, 2010
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus are planning on raiding Lyon this summer with Michel Bastos and Jeremy Toulalan in their sights.
The Bianconeri's vice-general manager Roberto Bettega was at the Gerland on Tuesday to watch Lyon's Champions League quarter-final against Bordeaux.
Bettega is widely thought of as being in charge of Juventus's reconstruction plans and Tuttosport understands that he has identified Bastos as the long-term heir to Pavel Nedved, who retired last season.
Juventus have lacked any sort of presence on the wings this year and Bastos' ability to play at full-back and further up the flanks makes him especially attractive.
However, as Tuttosport acknowledges, any transfer for Bastos will be tough to pull off as Lyon paid Lille €18m for his signature last summer.
Juventus' search for a midfield playmaker in the Andrea Pirlo mould has also led them to Lyon where Toulalan is widely regarded as the best in that position.
The 26-year-old has been with Lyon for four years and might now be looking for a new challenge after winning Le Championnat on two occasions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Toulalan....there you go tony...

Atletico want cut-price Tiago Thursday 1 April, 2010
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There may be problems in Atletico Madrid’s proposed signing of Tiago Mendes on a permanent basis from Juventus.
The Spanish club netted the Portuguese on loan in January with the option to buy outright for €8.5m in the summer.
Although the capital giants want to keep a hold of the midfielder, who has quickly settled in La Liga, they want him at a cut price.
However, Juventus are unwilling to lower their valuation given that they paid significantly more than that for him in the first place.
Tiago arrived from Lyon in the summer of 2007 for a massive €13m, a fee that he has had trouble living up to in Turin.
The former Chelsea player seems willing to end his Italian nightmare though after admitting as much last week.

What shape for Juve? Thursday 1 April, 2010
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus boss Alberto Zaccheroni is unsure what formation to field against Udinese given the absence of Diego.
The Brazilian attacking midfielder has been ruled out of Saturday’s game with a muscle strain and Zac is considering his options.
There is the possibility that he will persist with the 4-3-1-2 route which would probably mean a straight choice between Antonio Candreva or Sebastian Giovinco.
However, there is a chance that Zac could field both men in a 4-3-2-1 Christmas Tree shape after Giovinco returned from injury.
Nevertheless, some sources in Turin aren’t ruling out a 4-2-3-1 system that may see Giovinco used on the left of the trident attacking midfielders.
Juve desperately need a win against Zaccheroni’s former club to keep their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League alive.
The Old Lady are currently joint fifth with Napoli and Palermo, three points behind fourth-placed Palermo.
However, as Napoli and Palermo have done the double over Juve this term, the Turin giants must finish the season with more points than them as head-to-head encounters will decide placings.
----------------------------------------------
Giovinco is key

Blanc unlikely to join Juve Thursday 1 April, 2010
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus are again being associated with Rafael Benitez and Massimiliano Allegri after links with Laurent Blanc cooled.
The Bordeaux boss was yesterday paired with the Juventus hotseat for next season after vice general manager Roberto Bettega was in France for the Champions League tie against Lyon.
However, reports today are suggesting that the former Napoli and Inter defender is interested in a move to Spain with Sevilla apparently keen.
Pouring more cold water on the speculation that Blanc is heading to Turin is the tactician’s own agent.
“There has been no contact whatsoever with Juventus,â€

I don't think much attention can be paid to the links with Lyon players.
Bettega may have been at the game, but I bet the Press don't know what he was doing there (I've heard it was to start negotiations to sell Trez) and are just guessing at what is going on.

Don't criticise what you can't understand.
